|| | | AN BAILEY IS INDIGNANT Chief of Police Says Charges of Misconduct Are An Injustices. OTHERS MIXED IN AT SCHOOL ELECTION. Says Some Members of the Force Did Not Take Any Part In School Election. Chief of Police, S. C. Bailey is indignant over the story current about the city to the effect that a petition is soon to be circulated asking for the removal of the members of the local police force at the hands of the city council for undue interest manifested in the late school election. By re- quest of Mr. Bailey the Pioneer publishes the following state- ment from him. “The charges of misconduct and attempted coercion made against the ofticers of the local police department are an injus- tice,” said Mr. Bailey this morn- ing *‘and until the petition that is causing so much talk is pre- sented to me I shall believe that the whole story is a fulmination. The police force did take some interest in the late election, not as a whole, however. There were members who did not inter- est themselves in the outcome in any way. Personally I believe in standing by my friends and I am willing to state frankly that I did what I could honorably for the election of D. C. Smyth and P, J. Russell. The talk of police- men jostling people about the polls is all rot. I believe we were quite as well behaved as one Campbell, an attorney in this town and any number of ofhers, who were at the polls and im- portuned any number of ladies for their votes without the ordin- ary courtesy shat becomes a gentleman under all circum- stances. The ladies of ‘the city and those who favored the Tor- rance and Andrew ticket won a magnificent victory and T am not sore about it. TIand my friends are satisfied, but I am unable to deduct just why the police should be so roundly abused under the circumstances. So long as I live in Bemidji I shall take inter- est in politics. I don’t think anyone can deny me the right. Solong as I am on the police force I shall try to do my whole duty as an officer and to see that the several yery excellent assist- ants T have do the same. I have always tried to give the city my best efforts as chief of police and the officers under me are as good men as are on the police [«Fce in any town in this country.’ “There is also a lot of talk about scandal in the police de- partment. I want to go on rve- cord with the statement that in the performance of our official duties the skeleton is dragged from many a family closet and exposed to the view of the police department. Some of the people who are now loudest in their abuse of the police department have pasts in this town with which the police are familiar PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E. CAR SON, Manager.

Sneak thieves robbed a gamb- ler at Tenstrike last night. It was a wooden gambler, however, and not one of the smooth, sauve knight of the cloth who manipu- late .the pictured pasteboards and the little ivory ball. The robbexy was affected in the stand formerly occupied by M. Cleary which was closed some time ago. In the building was a slot machine the property of C. H. Miles -of this city and it con- tained about $50 in nickels. En- trance was effected by cowing through the cellar, the machine was broken open and its contents taken, The theft was not dis- covered until this morning and there is no clue to the per- petrators. FISK TO RUN Well Known Local Attorney Can- didate For Judge of Probate This Fall. Attorney D. H. Fisk, one of the oldest and most successful prac- ticing attorneys of the city an- nounces his candidacy for the re- publican nomination for judge of probate today. The announcement will come as a surprise to Mr. Fisk’s many friends and to the general public as it was generally conceded that Judge Clark, the present incum- bent would have a clear field for the nomination. M. Fisk is popular with many friends in Bemdji, is respected for a genial personality and ex- cellent ability and will no doubt be a formidable candidate for the place. Took The Train. The west bound time freight on the Great Northern which passed through Bemidji shortly before noon today put about fifty hoboes off the train here. Most of the men were apparently woodsmen on their way to the Dakota country. They decided that they would ride anyway and the entire party got into one car and gave the train crew the defy when they were asked to get out. They were taken out of this city. with the doors of the car locked from the outside and it was pro- posed to set the car off at a sid- ing somewhere up the line. New Chefs. Armstrong & Understood have lately added to their popular vestaurant two of the most successful and most widely known chefs in the business in the persons of Constand Bros., who were lately employed at the chatauqua at Deyils Lake, N. D. The new chefs have served in some of the most popu- lar resorts in the country, and Mes:! Armstrong & Under- wood are to highly commended in securing their services for Bemidji. = Will Adjourn Tomorrow, The board of equalization which has been in session at the court house during all of this week will adjourn some time tomor- row. The board has been hear- ing protests for the past two days. They are comparatively few and the assessment on the whole was avery satisfactory one. A Keep For Bagley. The village of Bagley which has been without a jail for some time will soon construct a new one. 1t will be modern in every respect and will be fitted up with steel cages. Several representa tives of houses manufacturing steel cells and jail equipments will | submit bids at the next meeting of the village council. with. We lmvc_alwa.ys been con- servative in our dealings with |local people and there is nota “| man in this town who can make and substantiate a charge of dis- honesty against a single member of the police department.” “It is easy toaccuse an officer, His duty calls him in some pecu- .|llar places and puts him in some peculiar nositions in a town like I must admit that it is of the sort (hit are floating around in many instances come from people who are living in glass houses and have time and timeagain beenaccorded leniency at the hands of every member-of the force. If the police depart- ment is subject to one single charge it is subject honestly to the one of being a trifle too easy on some of the people who are CUCUMBERS now most roundly abusing us, I do not think that this controversy is a good thing for the town in any way and I hope to see it dropped, butif anybody has any- thing against the police depart- ment he should prefer the charges at once and we will tell Princess Grocery Co|om s, of the story when the REWARD IN DAHL CASE State Fund Will Be Drawn Upon to Aid In Clear- ing Case. GOVERNOR VAN SANT MAKES PROCLAMATION. Detectives of Twin Cities Taking Keen Interest and New Clues are Developed. Governor Van Sant yesterday authorized a state reward of 9500 for the capture and convic- tion of the parties who mur- dered N.O. Dahl and daughter near Quiring postoffice, Bel- trami county. There are now standing offers of rewards as follows: Relatives, $500, Beltrami county, $500, State of Minnesota, $500. From the Twin City papers it is learned that St. Paul and Minneapolis detectives are taking a very great deal of inter- est in the case and claim to have information from reliable sources to the effect that important clues have been discovered within the pask few days. The heavy rewards now offer- ed by the state and county and the relatives will be a great spur to the detectives and police of- ficers interested in the case and a thorough and untiring effort will be made toland the guiity parties behind the bars. GENTRY COMING Famous Dog and Pony Show Will Exhibit in Bemidji Twice Tomorrow. Gentry Bros. famous dog and pony show will exhibit in Bemidji twice tomorrow. The circus is at Fosston today and will arrive this evening on its own special train over the Great Northern. Practically everybody is fami- liar with Gentry Bros. and their amusement enterprises and the show has a reputation for general all around excellence which always assures it a liberal pat- ronage in this section. This year’s circus is bigger and better than ever before and includes a number of feacures not seen with the Gentry’s here- tofore. The Yamida family of Japanese acrobats, and a men- agerie of baby elephants, camels, and lions are new things that especially appeal to the little people. Besides these are the usual large troupe of trained dogs and ponies,* who exhibit al- most human intelligence in per- forming their various feats. The show will give a free street parade tomorrow morning. All the circus wagons will be hauled by Shetland ponies and Gentry’s are famous for carrying the handsomest horses of any circus on the road. They will give afternoon and evening perform- ances and the amusement patron- izing public may rest assured thas both will be worth the money. Will Be No Raise. Local meat dealers are com- plaining of a falling off in the buying at the local markets and say that the general public seems to have the impression that the prices are golng up. There has not been no raise in prices on the local market since the meat cutters strike began. The wholesale houses are quot- ing stocks higher but the local demand is being supplied from the surrounding country and there is no prospect of an imme- diate raise in prices Child Meets With Accident. The little three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs., C. F. Scott met with a very serious accident ata Tenstrike sawmill yesterday. The little fellow was .playing about the mill when he accident- ally caught one of his hands in the cable. Three of the fingers were torn off and the hand was badly lacerated. Theanputation ofa fourth finger was necessi- tated. The child suffered terrible pain and the occurence is a very unfortunate one. Small Business. Richards & Pringle’s minstrels played to a small business at the City Opera house last night. The show was excellent. The first part was elaborately staged and the vocal selections were new and very cleverly rendered. A number of feature acts were in- troduced in the olio that were ex- ceptionally clever and taken all in all the audience was well pleased. Mr.-and Mrs. C. H. Miles are entertaining as their guests Mr. and Mrs. IVFcCulloch and son, of Joplin Missouri at Lake George for a few days.. The out; this morning. JURORS DRAWN Grand and Petit Jurors.
